Tips

Hiking

This is a former quarry in which gravel was obtained for road construction. As demand waned over time, the operator decided to close the quarry in 1982. Gradually, the break then ran full of water, the area was fenced and the entrance provided with a large gate. All that remained was the former transformer house, which has since served as a nesting place for birds and as accommodation for bats.

Hiking

After the quarry was closed in 1983 and not pumped out again, it quickly filled with groundwater. The reasons for the closure were the strong vibrations from the blasts, which caused damage to nearby houses and an unhealthy amount of dust.

Hiking

There is a fence around the outside, but there is a spot where there is a hole in the fence and it is easily accessible. Please enter this area with caution, also to protect nature
